    That Coffee Dopplebock sounds interesting.

    I have 3 batches fermenting right now, all about to go to keg here this weekend. IPA, Pale Ale, and a Brown Ale. Nothing special on any of those three brews, but I need some daily drinkin beer!

    This weekend I'll be kegging my Irish Red Rye and racking my Chipotle Smoked Porter to secondary.

    Just found out that my local gardening shop (really good people, went to High School with their daughter) grows fresh hops and sells brewing equipment. Im starting to think about taking the plunge. I hate to sound like a total newbie but can anyone recommend a good site with tutorials and info. I have googled it myself but I keep finding some different opinions and such so I would like to know a good starting point.

    Also, I don't know the prices but if anyone is interested or in need of some good local hops (I cannot personally attest to their quality yet, but I know the people and I doubt that they would sell shit) I could do a little research on pricing and varieties if you would want some.

    Thanks guys,

    Northernbrewer.com is a good site and there are some good forums out there. That being said, I'd start with buying either The Complete Joy of Home Brewing and/or How to Brew . Both are good books. I own them both. If you were going to buy one, I would the first. Either are a good reference to have around. They should have one or both at your local shop. Plus if they grow hops, they either brew themselves or know a lot of brewers. There is probably a local brew club or at least a few people who would have no problem inviting you over to watch them brew a batch or help you brew your first. I'd start there.

    Default Anybody Brew for Big Brew?

    My club hosted the westside brewsite. We brewed 60 gallons and raffled off a portable swamp cooler. All in all, a great day.

    Got my cider going last night. Bubbling once every 8-13 seconds. Is that about normal?

    It's Simply Apple with about a pound of brown sugar between the 2 jugs. I plan on getting a bigger kit this fall once I get my apartment but still wanted to try something now.

    Hard cider is my drink of choice. Good Luck !

    For our 12th anniversary, my wife got me a home brew and I'm super excited.
    Started my first batch (a dunkelweizen) and can't wait to bottle so I can start another.
